安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 380
安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
"Order, order, Captain! Mr. Kelly is entitled to give his explanation. I sign many a paper that I do not read--documents our lawyers and partners present to me to sign. Mr. Kelly states that he signed this document under such circumstances and his statement must be received. But, Mr. Kelly, I have always found that the best way is to carry out the provisions of the agreement one signs carelessly and resolve to be more careful next time. Would it not be better for you to continue four months longer under this agreement, and then, when you sign the next one, see that you understand it?"

白话
核心是:签了字就得认,哪怕当时没细看;但下次要长记性。卡内基先制止会场喧闹,让凯利先生解释。他承认自己也会签律师和合伙人递来的文件而不细读,所以理解凯利在类似情况下签了这份协议。但他强调,最好的办法是先把已签协议的规定执行完,同时下决心下次更谨慎。他建议凯利再按这份协议干四个月,等签下一份时确保自己真正弄懂。这既维护契约严肃性,又给人改正机会。
上下文
卡内基自传中记录的一次会议调解,涉及工人凯利签了未细读的协议后反悔,卡内基当场处理。

如果你曾草率签字,是选择硬扛后果,还是边履行边改进审阅习惯?
